So far, you've learned to make simple statements. But conversations aren't just lists of facts; we connect our ideas. In this deck, you'll learn the essential 'glue' words in French that link your thoughts together, like 'and', 'but', and 'because'.

Let's start with the most common connector: 'et', which means 'and'. You use it to add one idea to another, just like in English. For example: 'Mon frère est sympa et drôle.' This means 'My brother is nice and funny.'

To offer a choice, you use the word 'ou', which means 'or'. For example: 'Tu préfères le père ou la mère ?' meaning 'Do you prefer the father or the mother?'

To show a contrast or an opposition, you use 'mais', which means 'but'. For example: 'J'aime mon travail, mais c'est difficile.' This means 'I like my work, but it's difficult.'
